Lemon ICE

Week 4 Flowering D1 Was D22 of flowering and performed the planned defoliation ! Got almost 70-80 per cent of her leaves out , Only BUDS and no leaves except some new ones left ! I believe that defoliation is indeed efficient and increases airflow , light penetration through the canopy, humidity control, nutrients straight to buds and not on leaves and more other reasons Leaves in nature are responsible , except photosynthesising , to act as: Shield from the plant against diseases and pests Microclimate control due to plants can raise their prefered humidity around them caused by transpiration Nutrients and water storage on the plant All of those abilities , seems not needed on my plants due to closed ,controlled environment in which they are growing in! Im here to provide them shield from pests , enough nutrients and the proper environment to thrive 💪 One more thing I always consider , is that cannabis is mostly wind pollinated in nature, so exposing her to more air around her buds, I see more production of calyxes and ofc pistils , and pistils are there for that reason😎 Collecting that pollen 💪 Anyways , some thoughts on Defoliation , hope you like it ! D3 48 hrs after defoliation and you can see that buds continue to grow fast and filling up nicely ! She's consuming a loooot of water and I almost feed her daily with a litre of water !! Till next time , peaceeee
